Abstract

The thermophysical and mechanical properties of a family of aromatic polyimides were estimated using three popular methodologies in Quantitative Structure-Property Relationships (QSPR). The QSPR-calculated values were compared with each other and with available experimental data. In general, the QSPR-calculated properties were in good agreement with each other and with available experimental data for all of the tested polyimides. Therefore, the present study demonstrates that these QSPR approaches can provide a fast and reliable computational tool for reproducing and even predicting the polymer properties for this family of polymers.
